Instructions:
- Wire wrap the pendant however you would
like. Make sure you leave a somewhat large loop in the center so you
can fit all 3 strands through it. The pendant pictured was
somewhat randomly wrapped, then glued in place (on the back).
- Hang the pendant on the middle of all your
strands. Bead from the center so you're sure to have enough beads and
even sides. There should be 16"
Figure 8 chain and 2 18"
lengths of
Beadalon.
- Starting on one of the strands of Beadalon, string the
tiny Bronze Rice Pearls
evenly on each side. Tape
the ends when you're finished.
- Take the other length of Beadalon and
string 4 4mm Bloodstone
Beads - 1 Bali
Spacer - 4mm
Garnet Bead - 1
more Bali Spacer.
Repeat this pattern 11 times, tape end. Repeat on
other side.
- Braid all 3 strands and attach to Box
Clasp.
- In order to attach Beadalon, remove the
tape, place a crimp end
on the strand, string it through the box clasp ring, double it back and
crimp the end flush to the ring. Snip off excess Beadalon.
